SAP ups its information management game

SAP is announcing several enhancements to its Enterprise Information Management portfolio. Master data management (MDM) along with data quality, integration and preparation are in the spotlight. SAP Data Services, Data Hub and HANA figure prominently as well.

Given that the Master Data Governance includes data quality/cleansing functionality, the full-on governance aspiration seems to have legs. Moreover, these products can now be integrated into data pipelines that execute on SAP Data Hub, the company’s Apache Spark-based platform for operational-ized data movement/transformation/integration orchestrations.

That’s not the extent of the deployment of these services across SAP’s stack, either. On the HANA side of the shop, SAP HANA smart data integration, SAP HANA smart data quality and SAP Agile Data Preparation now feature data protection capabilities including data anonymization and column encryption. And the aforementioned SAP HANA smart data integration, along with master data and data enrichment services, now surface in the cloud as part of SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite.

This list of announcements is interesting, in that it’s not headlined by one big, flashy product. Instead, it’s more a basketful of smaller announcements, the result of harvest season across SAP’s stack, where a lot of less-flashy, but nonetheless important, enhancement work has borne fruit.
